Me by the Numbers
Numbers have always been my thing. I started counting as
soon as I could speak, learned how to count in two other languages and have always
had a passion for math. Numbers will also be a part of my future career as I am
currently working towards a degree in Accounting. The following are numbers
that are meaningful to me.

I’d like to start off with the number 19. It holds a lot of
significance in my life. First of all, it’s my birthday. I was born on February
19, 1992 at 3:19 in the morning at Henry Ford Hospital in Wyandotte, Michigan.
I was also 19 inches long when I was born, giving the number even more of a
special meaning.

With that being said, the number 19 has always been my number
one choice in usernames, emails and jersey numbers. Growing up, I was a big
hockey fan, mostly due to my father always watching the games and dressing me
and my siblings up in Red Wings attire. My dad even built us a mini ice rink in
our backyard in the winter to get us on the ice to shoot around hockey pucks.
For that reason, the number 19 also belongs to my favorite former Red Wings player
Steve Yzerman.

Another number that is of importance to me is the number
two. Not only is it a part of my birthday and birth month, it also represents
my two sisters. My sisters, Alyssa and Alexis are both younger than me and we’re
all two years apart in age with each other; Me being born in ’92, Alyssa being
born in ’94 and Alexis being born in ’96.

The number two also holds the number of times my heart was
broken before I finally met the love of my life. I met my boyfriend Daniel back
in 2010 and two years later (there’s that number two again) we started dating. Unfortunately,
nothing is always rainbows and sunshine. The two number is also the number of
times we have broken up. Although it was never more than a week apart, I still
remember them. 2012 was by far one of the most significant years in my life and
with the number two having a lot of significance elsewhere, it seemed right that
my most impressionable year for me would start and end with that number.

The number 27 is the last number of true meaning in my life.
It is a part of not only my anniversary with Daniel, but my parents as well.
Mine and Daniel’s anniversary is May 27 and my parents’ anniversary is August
27.

Another reason why the number 27 holds importance in my life is because it
was the age that my mother was when she had me. I look up to my mother for
being such a strong, kind and caring woman. She has helped shaped me into the
person I am today.

Seeing these numbers
in my life and looking back on their importance makes me smile. I hope that
these same numbers continue to bring more importance and memories as I continue
to go on in life.
